It is great to get around bigness and be challenged. The way of the Kingdom is that you possess things every step of the way by faith. If you are going to get something bigger, you are going to have to get bigger yourself. You have to be able to contain and receive that which you are trying to possess. God will give you more when you 1) are a good steward of what He has already given you and 2) when you are willing to have your capacity expanded. Expanding your capacity is a fight of faith. There is always opposition.

Passion for God is connected to boldness for God. When the power of God is coming on you, you get on fire. You become a passionate mouthpiece for God. When you have experienced God, you are prepared to do anything. You feel a compulsion to share your faith. You know what God has done for you in your life and you gain a desire to release your joy and testimony into others at every opportunity so that they can experience God in their worlds. Others will become challenged and empowered by your testimony of what God has done for you. It’s not about judgment - it’s about joy, hope and grace. When we are passionate for God, the Spirit gives us wisdom to communicate with people and reach them in these ways - ways they will understand.

Acts 2:1 - The believers were meeting together in one place and the Spirit filled the house where they were meeting. The Spirit came like a wind. The Spirit often manifests Himself to us in the form of wind - you can’t see Him moving, but you can feel Him moving and you can see the effects of His presence. It is the same way with God. You know when God is present and moving in the house because you can see the effects of His presence.

When God is moving in the house, the world understands what we are saying. We speak in a language that they understand and, when they understand what the Spirit is saying in us, the power of God gets on them through us. They can understand God and the heart of God. In the book of Acts, God was transferred from one room - the upper room - to thousands in a matter of days because the power of the Holy Spirit in the believers was enabling people to understand God for the first time. For the first time, they had an experience with God and could FEEL HIS PRESENCE. Up until that point, they had been live according to the letter of the law but God had never been real to them. When God is moving, the world begins to listen and hear and understand. People begin to be affected by what the church is saying. When we speak in languages they understand, the God is us becomes reality to them. It’s all about experiencing God.
